Permission to reproduce or quote text from this collection in a publication must be requested from and granted in writing by the Library Director, The New-York Historical Society, 2 West 77th Street, New York, NY 10024-5194. Citation This collection should be cited as: Geographic File, PR 020, Department of Prints, Photographs, and Architectural Collections, The New-York Historical Society. PR 020 4 Scope and Content Notes The Geographic File is an artificial collection created over the course of many years in the Department of Prints, Photographs, and Architectural Collections. Small donations of prints or photographs of views of geographic locations have been filed here. The collection contains, in addition to prints and photographs, some newspaper clippings, some reproductions of paintings and other items in the N-YHS Museum collection, and some ephemera. The collection is divided into four series: Foreign Views; American Views; New York City Views (Manhattan); and New York City Views (Other Boroughs). Within each series, material is separately housed by size. Boxes hold material smaller than approximately 12 x 14 inches. Larger material is housed flat in folders in drawers. Oversize material is generally larger than 30 x 40 inches. Boxed material is described to the folder level. Some larger material has been described to the item level. Oversize material is all described to the item level, to facilitate use and reduce unnecessary handling. See individual series descriptions for more cataloging information. Series I. Foreign Views is arranged alphabetically by country. Current (as of 2006), and not contemporaneous, names of countries were used. Each country for which there is a view is listed. In the boxed views, if five or more views of a city within a country exist, that city received its own folder. Series II. American Views is arranged alphabetically by state. Within states, views of cities are also arranged alphabetically. In the boxed views, if five or more views of a city exist, that city received its own folder. Within each city, additional folders were also created for buildings, etc. with five or more views. Series III. New York City Views (Manhattan) is arranged in an organizational structure by topic of the view. GENERAL views include aerial views (those taken from airplanes or from the top of a tall building) and birds-eye views (generally 19th-century prints). Aerial views of lower Manhattan include views of the World Trade Center. Aerial views of midtown include views of the Empire State Building and the Chrysler Building. Aerial views of uptown include images of Central Park, Grant’s Tomb, Riverside Drive and Riverside Park. Harbor views are those which show the shore and skyline of Manhattan from the water, or from across some body of water. Some river and harbor views that show more than one borough are filed here. If the view is mainly of another borough, it will be filed therein. For views of the Manhattan harbors and piers from within the city, look under Rivers and Piers. RIVERS, ISLANDS, and BRIDGES are arranged alphabetically. All bridges that connect the 5 boroughs are filed here. Bridges within another borough should be found in Series IV. Most buildings on islands (for example, asylums on Roosevelt Island) are filed under general Buildings headings. It behooves researchers to look under both headings to be sure of complete coverage. STREET SCENES are views along streets and avenues. Some show a small portion of one block, some show several blocks. For views that specifically spotlight one building, search under BUILDINGS. However, researchers should also search the street scenes for other images of a specific building, especially those which may also show surrounding buildings and street and sidewalk traffic. Street scenes are arranged alphabetically or numerically. A few named squares have their own folder (i.e. Herald Square and Times Square). For more Times Square images, see Night Views in GENERAL views. Researchers interested in those areas should also consult surrounding streets, such as Broadway, the avenues, and the appropriate cross streets. PARKS and GARDENS include images of parks and gardens, some now defunct, throughout Manhattan. A few gardens run as commercial enterprises, such as Elgin’s Botanic Garden can be found here. BUILDINGS are prints or photographs that spotlight a specific building. Churches are filed alphabetically by name following the organization provided in David Dunlap’s encyclopedic work From Abyssinian to Zion, which is available for reference. Government buildings include police and fire stations. Residences are filed alphabetically by the last name of the owner, or by their own name, if applicable. Cross- PR 020 5 references have been provided in those cases. Named apartment complexes are filed in alphabetically with residences, and unnamed apartment buildings can be found at the end of the run. TRANSPORTATION includes images of all sorts of transportation found within the boundaries of New York City. For more general transportation (i.e. generic railroad images), look in the Subject File (PR 068). This category mainly includes images of buses, carriages, elevated railroads and subway images. Images of shipping boats can sometimes be found in Harbor Views, and also in the Maritime History File (PR 100). EVENTS include views of special events, such as parades, funeral processions, celebrations, and xxx. Researchers looking for parade images should also check street scenes for those streets that are often parade routes, such as Broadway and Fifth Avenue. For example, the Madison Square folder contains panoramic views that show banners for the Pan-Am Exposition. Material housed in boxes includes many photos by Beecher Ogden, and also a great many images (most copy photographs) collected, and donated, by George Bagoe. Material housed flat has been separated into two categories based on format: Prints and Photographs. Within each format, material has been arranged into the above categories. Each image filed under the Buildings categories is separately listed in the finding aid below. In other categories, attempts have been made to provide more specific information about images in each folder, to reduce browsing and encourage more specific use. Series IV. New York City Views (Other Boroughs) follows the same general organizational structure as Series III. For bridges and some general harbor views, see Series III. Related Materials in the Department of Prints, Photographs, and Architectural Collections Additional printed views of New York City can be found in the Boyd Collection (PR 007) and in Fine Art Prints of New York. City (PR 229) Additional photographs can be found throughout the photographic collections of the Department. All bound volumes of New York City and other views are catalogued in the Library’s catalog, BOBCAT. More general (not specific to NYC or a specific geographical location) images of firefighters, transportation, and occupations can be found in the Subject File (PR 068). PR 020 6 Box Folder Series I.

  • Duke Ellington Monument Unveiled in Central Park Tatum, Elinor
    Document 1 of 1 Duke Ellington monument unveiled in Central Park Tatum, Elinor. New York Amsterdam News [New York, N.Y] 05 July 1997: 14:3. Abstract A monument to jazz legend Duke Ellington was unveiled at Duke Ellington Circle on the northeast corner of Central Park on Jul 1, 1997. The jet black, 25-ft-high memorial was sculpted by Robert Graham and depicts Ellington, standing by his piano. The statue is a gift from the Duke Ellington Memorial Fund, founded by Bobby Short. Full Text Duke Ellington monument unveiled in Central Park The four corners of Central Park are places of honor. On the southwest gateway to the park are monuments and a statue of Christopher Columbus. On the southeast corner is a statue of General William Tecumseh Sherman. Now, on the northeast corner of the park, one of the greatest jazz legends of all time and a Harlem hero, the great Duke Ellington, stands firmly with his piano and his nine muses to guard the entrance to the park and to Harlem from now until eternity. The monument to Duke Ellington was over 18 years in the making, and finally, the dream of Bobby Short, the founder of the Duke Ellington Memorial Fund, came to its fruition with the unveiling ceremony at Duke Ellington Circle on 110th Street and Fifth Avenue on Tuesday. Hundreds of fans, family, friends and dignitaries came out to celebrate the life of Duke Ellington as he took his place of honor at the corner of Central Park. The jet black, 25-foot-high memorial sculpted by Robert Graham stands high in the sky, with Ellington standing by his piano, supported by three pillars of three muses each.

  • In Nineteenth-Century American Theatre: the Image
    Burlesquing “Otherness” 101 Burlesquing “Otherness” in Nineteenth-Century American Theatre: The Image of the Indian in John Brougham’s Met-a-mora; or, The Last of the Pollywogs (1847) and Po-Ca-Hon-Tas; or, The Gentle Savage (1855). Zoe Detsi-Diamanti When John Brougham’s Indian burlesque, Met-a-mora; or, The Last of the Pollywogs, opened in Boston at Brougham’s Adelphi Theatre on November 29, 1847, it won the lasting reputation of an exceptional satiric force in the American theatre for its author, while, at the same time, signaled the end of the serious Indian dramas that were so popular during the 1820s and 1830s. Eight years later, in 1855, Brougham made a most spectacular comeback with another Indian burlesque, Po-Ca-Hon-Tas; or, The Gentle Savage, an “Original, Aboriginal, Erratic, Operatic, Semi-Civilized, and Demi-savage Extravaganza,” which was produced at Wallack’s Lyceum Theatre in New York City.1 Both plays have been invariably cited as successful parodies of Augustus Stone’s Metamora; or, The Last of the Wampanoags (1829) and the stilted acting style of Edwin Forrest, and the Pocahontas plays of the first half of the nineteenth century. They are sig- nificant because they opened up new possibilities for the development of satiric comedy in America2 and substantially contributed to the transformation of the stage picture of the Indian from the romantic pattern of Arcadian innocence to a view far more satirical, even ridiculous. 0026-3079/2007/4803-101$2.50/0 American Studies, 48:3 (Fall 2007): 101-123 101 102 Zoe Detsi-Diamanti

  • Central Park Spring Guide
    This is a spring like no other. When the world is in disarray, the natural wonder of a new season unfolding becomes a simple joy and a reminder of nature’s profound power to regenerate and revive. The Central Park Conservancy has been New York’s advocate for Central Park for the last four decades. And now, our staff’s role has become even more important as we work to keep the Park clean, safe, and healthy. A vibrant Central Park cleans the air for New Yorkers, provides a place for mental and physical well-being, and brings us together — even when we are kept apart. This spring, we ask you to join us in celebrating the simple miracles of life: the blooming magnolia, the sweeping vistas from a miniature castle, and the community that is New York. IN THIS GUIDE We look forward to a time when we can be together 2 A Note to Park-Goers in the Park. Until then, we hope our Spring Guide 3 Get to Know Central Park’s Spring Blooms provides you with a taste of the season. 4 Preparing for Spring in Conservatory Garden 5 Central Park Activities 10 Central Park Quiz 11 Central Park Map 2 A NOTE TO PARK-GOERS New York City has seen its share of crises, yet despite all we’ve lived through, New Yorkers remain resilient. In times of turmoil, Central Park has always been here, as a respite, an oasis, or simply a quiet place to escape when we feel overwhelmed. This holds true even as the City navigates the coronavirus outbreak.
